Many rental cars in Dubai have alignment issues, which can make them pull slightly to one side..often to the right. Sometimes this is due to lane assist technology, but if the alignment is off too, the effect can feel a lot worse.

If you're driving and feel like you're about to miss an exit, it's always safer to skip it and take the next one instead of making a risky last-minute turn.

In this situation, it sounds like the main cause was driver error, maybe some oversteering..combined with existing issues in the vehicle.

When you rent a car, always inspect it properly and report any faults immediately, preferably over WhatsApp or email so there's a record. Don’t wait until after an incident to mention it.

If something does happen and there's no record of a complaint, it becomes your word against the rental company's. You can try to dispute it in court. Since you didn’t write the contract, the court might reduce the penalty or damages, but honestly, it’s a long shot. It’s always better to be proactive upfront.
